Abstract
Various implementations disclosed herein assess the blurriness of portions of images depicting shapes such as codes or text that have known structural elements. This may involve determining whether a portion of an image of a code or text is sufficiently clear (not blurry) to be accurately interpreted. Blur may be assessed based on spatial frequency of statistical analysis. Blur may be assessed using a machine learning model that is trained using target blur metrics determined based on spatial frequency (e.g., analysis of high frequency portions of discrete cosine transforms of image portions) or statistical analysis (e.g., based on corner/edge detection in image portions).
